You can make passable Americano drinks with it if you are willing to have a supply of boiled water on hand to water down the espresso. Quite often, when the curious among us are checking out the Nespresso system for the first time they need to be reminded that this is an espresso coffee system. It uses the proprietary pod system as created by Nestle – but of course there are other vendors that make pods that will work with the unit – like Gourmesso, the company that were kind of enough to spot us a machine. It makes 2 fluid ounce servings of espresso using a high pressure pump. The Nespresso Inissia is an espresso machine in the truest sense of the word.
I do not mind there not being a power switch as long as it is clear in the instructions that there isn’t one – and there are very clear instructions. Add some water to the carafe, “touch” one of the brew buttons (there is no classic power switch) and the “brew” button blinks until the unit is ready to brew – typically under 90 seconds when you are powering it up for the first time. Out of the box it is a pretty quick set-up. The Nespresso always comes well packed with very handsome and readable instructions and a sample of some authentic Nespresso pods. This machine came with no real strings attached (my favorite) apart from, “Hey test the machine out – tell us what you think and what you think of the coffee pods that we supply…” OK. The folks at New York City based were good enough to send a very significant supply of coffee samples and arrange for an Inissia machine to test them on. Every so often I get an offer of a coffee machine, to test, in exchange for a review – or a machine in exchange from one of the many online companies offering a selection of coffee products.
